Purpose: To describe optical coherence tomography (OCT) angiography (OCTA) in a case of Purtscher retinopathy.
Methods: A 16-year-old male underwent ophthalmological examination including color fundus photography, spectral domain OCT, OCTA, and microperimetry. Examination was performed 10 days, 1 month, and 6 months after the trauma.
Purpose: To assess the impact of combined phacoemulsification-vitrectomy and sequential surgery for idiopathic epiretinal membrane (ERM) on refractive error (RE) and macular morphology.
Methods: In this prospective clinical trial, we allocated phakic eyes with ERM to (1) cataract surgery and subsequent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (CAT group), (2) PPV and subsequent cataract surgery (VIT group) or (3) phaco-vitrectomy (COMBI group). Examinations were at baseline, one month after each surgery, and at 3 months and 12 months of follow-up.
Purpose: To assess the impact of sequential and combined surgery [cataract surgery and 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) with peeling] on corneal endothelium cell density (CED) and corneal biomechanical characteristics.
Methods: Phakic eyes with epiretinal membrane (ERM) were prospectively allocated to (i) cataract surgery and subsequent PPV (CAT group), (ii) PPV and subsequent cataract surgery (VIT group) or (iii) phacovitrectomy (COMBI group). Eyes were examined at baseline, 1 month after each surgery, and at 3 and 12 months follow-up.
Purpose: To present a case of corneal toxicity following exposure to milky plant latex from
Methods: A 70-year-old female presented with blurred vision and pain in her left eye after handling an . Clinical examination revealed a corneal stromal oedema with small epithelial defects. The corneal endothelium was intact and folds in Descemets membrane were observed.
Purpose: To study the clinical and microbiological spectrum of endophthalmitis with emphasis on clinical features, visual outcomes and risks of surgical complications.
Methods: A prospective observational study was conducted between 2012 and 2013 in a specific region in Denmark. Patients were clinically examined before, during and after surgical intervention for endophthalmitis.

Unlabelled: Several studies have described changes in refraction toward myopia in eyes having vitrectomy and phacovitrectomy. This article reviews studies of the refractive outcome in phakic and pseudophakic eyes after vitrectomy and phacovitrectomy for macular hole or epiretinal membrane. Several factors play a role in refraction, including measurement of the axial length, changes in the effective lens position and the anterior chamber depth, the use of intraocular gas tamponade, the formula for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation, and the IOL type.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTwo sibling snow leopards, a male and a female, with bilateral anterior segment dysgenesis (ASD), are reported. Both snow leopards also had colobomas of both upper eyelids. All eyes exhibited a central corneal opacity associated with a defect in posterior corneal stroma, endothelium and Descemet's membrane.

Purpose: To report the change in refraction in pseudophakic eyes following 23-gauge vitrectomy for epiretinal membrane (ERM), without use of silicone oil, intraocular gas or scleral buckling.
Methods: Retrospective review of the records of 28 pseudophakic eyes in 28 patients undergoing 23-gauge pars plana vitrectomy for ERM. All 28 eyes had a measured preoperative refraction in their records and were seen minimum 2 months after vitrectomy for measuring their refraction.
Intravitreal ranibizumab therapy is widely used in treatment of subfoveal choroidal neovascularisation (CNV) in age-related macular degeneration. We wanted to study the effect of intravitreal ranibizumab therapy in peripapillary CNV. A prospective recording of treatment outcomes in twelve eyes (12 patients) with peripapillary CNV with intravitreal injections of ranibizumab was performed.
